I'm not eligible, but here's the thing. UPS is required to post that $ as wages and as such they in turn are required to withhold from those wages. If that's not acceptable to you, perhaps you'll have lower your future expectations and settle for the T shirts or Caps handed out.

my thinking is they added, your wage x how many hours to make 75 dollars
and added it to your wage, then deducted it on the other side, thusly all would be equal, youd still be up the 75 dollars and no tax liablity

The government implemented a new corporate tax law 2 years ago. Any gift or reward that does not have a company logo on it, must be taxed. You receive the 75 gift pass, they add 75 to your income, tax comes to between 5.70 and 6.15 depending on your withholding. The remaining 69 is yours.
Last year our center received $4000 in safety money for the year. Our first quarter under the new program yielded $5025. Now the whole center does not lose out when one guy runs over a mailbox.
